Think Tank

The speed at which emerging technologies change society, and the dynamism of the markets they fuel, mean that policymakers rarely have time or space clearly to articulate the conditions for a successful tech-driven society. Constantly playing catch up as tech development outpaces them, it is becoming increasingly difficult for governments to craft relevant policy for the digital age.

Using data the “right” way is not about what is technically possible, but rather desirable from society’s point of view. Society must be able to trust technologists, companies, governments and private citizens to use technology to serve humanity for the long term. To meet this expectation, digital services must be based on relations of trust, security and privacy.

An equitable society is one in which every citizen can participate and prosper. Sustainable economic growth requires society to create the conditions that enable citizens to have dignified jobs that stimulate the economy without harming the environment.
